Just like someone else said, they get by in europe and so could we, the problem is we're used to cheap gas and we abuse it. we should drive only when we have to and combine trips by taking multiple people to the store and work.

the biggest problem would be trucking. everything we buy gets here by trucks. if fuel prices go up, so does the price of the product. i dispatch semi trucks for all kinds of loads. auto parts, steel, food, furniture. etc. all of those items and more would go up in price so the demand would go down because people wouldn't be able to afford them. when that happens people lose jobs because of the low demand and there are even more unemployed/poor people. This will happen sooner than later so we all need to get ready
